CA Clarity PPM Connector Alerts

Alerts are based on alert conditions defined in the CA Clarity PPM connector. The data is evaluated in the CA Clarity PPM connector after it is flattened, but before it is sent to CA Spectrum SA. CA Clarity PPM does not directly trigger them. Alerts are based on the key or value pairs that the map template produces before the EI policy is applied.

Each alert is defined for a specific CI type, and consists of the following fields:

ID

Unique Identifier for the Alert

property

CA Clarity PPM property to check

match

Regular expression or static string expression that are matched against the CA Clarity PPM property

summary

Alert summary text

See the CA Spectrum SA Administration Guide for specific details about USM alert properties.

The Project Status alert is included with the CA Clarity PPM connector. The following table defines the fields for the alert:

The Project Status alert is a three-stage alert. When the status indicator property changes to "Yellow" in CA Clarity PPM, a Major alert is raised against the modified Project CI. A change to "Red" yields a Critical alert, and "Green" clears the alert for the given project. In this case, the "Green", "Yellow", and "Red" statuses are represented numerically by 1, 2, and 3, respectively in the XOG query results.
